Man Assaults Cops Armed With Shotgun And... Bong

They say never bring a knife to a gunfight. I don't know what the rule is regarding pot paraphrenalia.

Never smoke a white bong after Labor Day? Nah, that's not it.

Anyway:

A 22-year-old man was wrestled to the ground in the Germantown Police Department Friday afternoon after threatening a dispatcher with a glass bong and a shotgun, police said.

The man walked into the department and handed a threatening note to the dispatcher at a her window around 5 p.m., police said.

As she read the note, he threw a glass bong at the bulletproof glass, police said.

The bong shattered, but the window did not.

He then pulled out a shotgun, but three officers using a taser and pepper spray were able to subdue him, police said.

Going into a police station with a shotgun, delivering a threatening note, throwing a glass bong at a bulletproof window, and then putting your finger on a shotgun's trigger when surrounded by heavily-armed cops?

Funny. This guy doesn't seem like a heavy pot smoker or anything.
